About the Author


Kate Morton


KATE MORTON is an award-winning, Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author. Her novels - The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden, The Distant Hours, The Secret Keeper, The Lake House, The Clockmaker's Daughter and Homecoming - are published in over 45 countries, in 38 languages, and have all been number one bestsellers around the world.

Kate Morton grew up in the mountains of southeast Queensland and now lives with her family in London and Australia. She has degrees in dramatic art and English literature, and harboured dreams of joining the Royal Shakespeare Company until she realised that it was words she loved more than performing. Kate still feels a pang of longing each time she goes to the theatre and the house lights dim.

'I fell deeply in love with books as a child and believe that reading is freedom; that to read is to live a thousand lives in one; that fiction is a magical conversation between two people - you and me - in which our minds meet across time and space. I love books that conjure a world around me, bringing their characters and settings to life, so that the real world disappears and all that matters, from beginning to end, is turning one more page.'

A gifted storyteller with a richly developed story...

If interpersonal relationships and human nature combined with a historical setting/ story (in this case World War 2), Kate Morton is an author you will want to devour. The Secret Keeper is the second novel of hers that I've read, and she is now on my list of authors from whom I will purchase a book without needing to read the summary or others' comments. Her characters, settings, and details are richly developed, and she explores the intricacies of people's/character's decisions, development, & relationships in a way that makes them alive as you read. Along with Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner, I will buy whatever Kate Morton writes. I know I will get transported to a different time and place to live through the eyes and thoughts of the characters and stories she's developed so well. It is well worth the time (and emotional) investment..

It required of me to write 20 words, but I don't want to give away the story. A great story. I's definitely worth the time to read it. I've never read a mystery with an ending like this..
